Can the NT boot selector be used for this combination? I use OS-BS to select between `DOS and NT' and `NetBSD', and then the NT boot manager to select between `DOS' and `NT'. It works fine. Note that if you have separate partitions for DOS and NT (thus having at least 3 partitions on the disk), since DOS and (currently) NetBSD both require being in the primary partition table to boot, you must make sure that *all* of the partitions are in the primary partition table, or NT will refuse to boot. There's a bug in the NT loader. -- - Charles Hannum NetBSD group Working ports: i386, hp300, amiga, sparc, mac68k, pc532. In progress: pmax, sun3.
